The cab has both the center wind up with out side slides and it has the
covered hole for
the filler neck. Looks like no OD on the cab. Guess I've got an imitation
WC40.
Now I won't worry that the combat rims and whatever box and fenders I can
find for it aren't original either. Maybe original parts will show up
someday.
One thing, in this area no one will know but me.
Thanks for all the help.
